Monson Trash/Recycling Guidelines

Did you know that you can access information about holiday schedules and Trash/Recycling service or weather delays on the Republic Services Mobile App.

For more information please visit: https://www.republicservices.com/

Please ensure that your trash and recycling carts are placed at the curb by 6:00am on your scheduled service day. Please place carts with the lid opening facing the road with wheels facing your home, and at least 3 feet away from other objects.  Do not park in front of your carts.  Do not overstuff your carts as this may cause the bags or cardboard to become stuck and not be fully emptied. Place all material in your Republic Services carts. No other carts will be accepted. Recycling is now Single Stream. You will no longer need to separate your recycling materials. Please do not put recycling in plastic bags. For Bulk pick up; requests are made using the BULK PICK-UP REQUEST FORM. Occasionally, especially during weather events, it is possible for drivers to miss picking up your trash or recycling that has been placed at the curb on its scheduled day. IF YOUR TRASH OR RECYCLING WAS NOT PICKED UP AS SCHEDULED OR YOU HAVE A SERVICE ISSUE, PLEASE CALL REPUBLIC SERVICES. If there is any damage to your carts call Republic to report and they will repair or replace them.
